The Law School Admissions Council is a non-profit organization sponsored by nearly 200 member law schools in the United States and Canada . The LSAC is responsible for most of the procedures you will undertake and programs you will participate in when applying to law school, including:

• Administering the LSAT-Law School Admissions Test
• LSDAS-Law School Data Assembly Service
• CRS-Candidate Referral Service
• Law School Forums
• MILE Program-Minorities Interested in Legal Education

CRS-Candidate Referral Service

The CRS is a free program that you can sign up for when you register with the LSDAS.

Through the CRS:

• Law schools may search for potential candidates that meet their profiles or particular search criteria and send information to those students.
• Applicants may receive materials from law schools that may be a good match for them that they may not have previously considered.

We highly recommend that all students authorize the release of their information for this program

Law School Forums

The law school forums are the single largest events in the U.S. that bring pre-law students and law school admission personnel together.

The Law School Forums:

• Are in eight different locations throughout the country during the fall
• Are attended by most law schools, so as to provide information on schools all over the country
• Last for 1-2 days
• Offer workshops on financial aid, applying to law school, and other valuable information

It is in your best interest to attend your local Law School Forum if at all possible. Please see your pre-law advisor for a schedule of this year's forums
